Meet Outfit

First Edition

Josefina's meet outfit reflects daily fashion on a Mexican rancho in 1824; women wore less restrictive clothing than what was worn in white American fashion of the time. Casual clothing consisted of long blouses with simple skirts and sashes. The outfit shows influences from Native people of the area as well.

After the launch of BeForever, the set was sold (minus hair accessories) as Josefina's Classic Outfit for $36.

Camisa

White camisa (blouse) with short puffed sleeves and a gathered neckline. Small white trim at neckline and sleeves. Velcros up the back. The camisa comes down to about the knees.

Skirt

Maroon skirt with black flower print; waistband and white trim sewn to the bottom on a white fabric strip. Velcros near the waistband.

Sash

Brown woven sash with darker brown stripes. Braided at the ends. Worn around the waist over the skirt.

Drawers

White knee-length drawers with elastic at the back and a V panel at the front.

Moccasins

Brown soft leather moccasins that lace up and tie in the front. The laces were originally a leather string, but have changed into a more shoe lace like string.
